Well, just to correct this above-quoted 2004 reply you wrote:
actually it is not Ile Verte (Green Island, the biggest island, with
the Canadian lighthouse on its Eastern side) which is nicked - nor
Little Green Island (the second largest island of the group), but it
is L'Enfant Perdu de l'Ile Verte (Green Island's Lost Child, i.e. a
rock far away from Green Island) and also the western group of
Little Green Island group, also located far from Green Island.
